FAQ

I would recommend the reformer for your first time. This gives you a good feel of the benefits of Pilates using resistance training. You should also book the introductory package to familiarise yourself with the reformer and learn the general repertory of exercises before moving into a group class.

2. How do i set up small group session?

Small group sessions provide a relaxing atmosphere but are still personal, along with the chance for a chat and some gossip. What’s said in the class stays in the class!
Small studio fits a maximum of 2 people

3. What should I expect?

You will understand how your body operates and flows with movements. Expect immediate benefits in your mood, appearance and posture, starting right after your first session.

4. What do I wear?

Wear clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement or breathing: gym gear is fine, or comfortable shorts/trousers and a T-shirt.

All you need is space to lay a mat, we provide the rest.

Pilates focuses on strength, muscle toning, body control, alignment and flexibility, with the main emphasis being core strength. Precision and isolation of muscle groups is key to the method.

Yes – I know that some of you prefer privacy and others prefer the added commitment and social side of sharing.
I offer sessions for two at the same price as one, making this a great value option for couples or friends.
